Cindy's Breakfast advice & encouragement

[kadeeu]

Can someone please let me know the range of PS times available for CRT breakfast? Thanks in advance.

 

[Shells9]

I think it is 8 am or 8:05 until about 10:20 or so, but just take what you can get!

 

[Part of Your World]

If anyone is forced to cancel between the above dates, I would surely appreciate an email. We, too, are planning a spur-of-the-moment surprise trip for our little ones, and would love to do CRT!

Thanks! scotts2584@imcingular.com

I am interested in eating at Cinderella's Royal Table. I am guessing that's what this thread covers? (don't know if there's more then one cindy's restaurant)

Are there 3 meals served there or is it just breakfast?

Are the princesses are all the meals?

If I am on the silver plan is this meal worth it to use a wish for or should I pay and use my wish for something else?

More questions. (sorry I didn't read this entire 15 page thread but I don't have that much time)

Is the food good?
What is the best meal to go for? (break, lunch, dinn etc.)

THANK you to anyone who can answer my questions.
Also on a side note: What do you think is the best character meal? (I have two boys I have to please also after my daughter gets her turn with the princesses)

3 Meals are served

No, Just Breakfast

Not sure about this one

Is the food good?

We went last Easter and just made PS for this Easter. We thought the food was very good. The waitress offered everyone as much as they wanted too! It's not about the food tho if you go for breakfast, it's definately the magic There are several pricesses there besides Cinderella.

What is the best meal to go for? (break, lunch, dinn etc.)
We had a lunch there that was good. But you definately want to go for the character breakfast if you can get PS. You must call at 7:00 90 days out. We also had good luck getting a cancellation 24 hours before last Easter. Keep Calling!!!!

Also on a side note: What do you think is the best character meal? (I have two boys I have to please also after my daughter gets her turn with the princesses) CRT is tough to beat, My DD5 had a great time at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and Friends. At one point, Pooh leads the kids around the place in a little parade.

I hate to ask this, because it may mean sad news for someone else, but... If anyone has recently or is planning to soon cancel a ressie for CRT for Feb 1-3 (Sun-Tues) please pm me. It is for a surprise breakfast. If you respond, hopefully you just got a better time and aren't having to cancel altogether. Thanks for any responses!

This may be a dumb question but I have to ask.
If I am calling to book 90 days in advance and I want to book meals for the week.. Do I have to call everysingle day or can I make the whole weeks worth at one time?

I am guessing I'd have to call each day that is the 90 days ahead.

 

[Mickey Moose]

You guessed wright, one day at the time if you want the best shot at each day. If you want to chance it, you can call when the last day in your trip is at the 90 day mark and book the whole week.

Good Luck

Is it 60 days or 90 days?????

I am seeing both. I believe it is just 60 days.

They changed it to 90 days out. This thread is OLD.

I just made reservations for a 10:10 seating. Will this be a case where later is better since the resturant will start to clear out after the last seating or is this bad because the characters have been at it for several hours? Just curious as to how the character interaction will be.

 

[Shells9]

PaBrady101-
I have heard characters are more relaxed toward the end of the meals, and the interaction is good.
We always go 1st thing in the am, so I cannot speak from experience, but I hope you will enjoy your breakfast!

 

[Mickey Moose]

Madi100 is correct, it is 90 days out now. I just booked our party of 11 for the first week of April 04.

I called at 7 on the dot this morning and got shut out for the breakfast on Easter Sunday. I was probablly on hold for 18 min.
Disappointing but I didnt have much faith going in that we would get it. Booked Princess at Epcot instead.

 

[Mickey Moose]

Last week I was booking every morning for the 3-9th of April. My cell phone company sets the time from the tower so I used that clock. I have found the cell phone time to be correct with other venues such as ebay. I started calling at 6:57 every morning. Some mornings I got in at 6:58 and some mornings at 6:59 but no morning was it actually 7:00 or later (according to my cell phone company time). When they answered at that time, there was no wait at all on hold. I got everything I wanted including CRT and an illuminations cruise.

So I would start dialing "before" 7:00 on the dot!

Good Luck,
Mickey Moose

I tried that and got recording that reservations wasnt open yet. Hung up and dialed again and was on hold. Amazing...I wonder how many CM they have working at that hour?

 

[Mickey Moose]

I don't think as many as I once did. Last week, several times I called back because I felt I was getting bad info. I was trying to get a different cm. On two occassions I actually got the same cm on the phone! In one case, I was trying to book the pirate cruise on a day (that I now know) it is not offered on. The original CM told me I had to call back 90 days out. I asked her to check that today was 90 days as I had made other ps's for that same day in question. She then told me that the pirate cruise ressies hadn't been opened up yet and to try back tomorrow. That didn't sound right so I kept calling back till I got a different cm. He is the one that told me I was trying to book the pirate cruise on a day it wasn't offered and then scheduled me on a day it was offered!

I'm pretty sure that the specialty cruise number "play" instead of "dine" only has 1 or at most a few cm's on the phone, because when booking my specialty cruise, I got the same cm each time on about 4 phone calls.

Hi! We had to move our DW trip from the week of Jan 24 to the week of Jan 31, which means that we also had to lose our Princess Storybook breakfast. We are a family of 5. If anybody ends up, by chance, cancelling either Cindy's or Princess Storybook for anytime between February 1-6, I would be ever so grateful if you could let me know. Thanks so much!

Maybe I've overlooked this on this thread....but, someone on another board was saying that her concierge was able to get CRT about a month before their trip!
This poster was saying that concierge guests are often able to get tables for CRT, like they have some put side for concierge guests, even last minute, like day before the CRT!

Just wondering if this was just a "fluke" for her, and she was assuming this about concierge.
(Note: now, don't get me wrong,as I have stayed alot at WDW concierges in the last three years, and we have gotten alot of last minute Calif Grill, chefs de France, with window views, etc)

Luckily, I don't have to worry about Princess breakfasts with teenage boys, but I do know SIL was thinking about going to WDW this summer with her 3 little girls.

Of course, I know nothing, even after 19 trips in 7 years!
Remember, having my cell phone programmed, the alarm set for 5:45 am (Texas Time), and start the dialing, just like all of ya'll do, to get Illuminations cruises, and CRT for a trip 3 years ago!
(when I took a niece).

SIL is stating that she's going to do concierge with one of the deluxes, and leave it up to them, but she's always the type that waits the last minute to book a trip, much less get a CRT ressie.

Someone tell me, about this concierge "rumor if it is" so I can email her this whole thread, to let het know that I'm NOT being my OC, Type A, WDW "know-it-all"!

Thanks!
